When I first started making my own drinks at home, I made the mistake of purchasing the cheapest flavor syrup I could find. It couldn't be that bad, right? I didn't think there would be a huge difference but holy cow, was it disgusting. I learned drink syrups are some of the ingredients that you do want to spend a bit more on to make sure you get the flavors you are really after.
In my research, it seems that Monin may be the best brand of syrup to use in making drinks. Not only have I read great reviews and experienced well-made products with this syrup, but I also see that they have a great variety of flavors available, from almond and amaretto to toasted marshmallow and toffee nut. It looks like they even have some affordable sizes available that are almost as cheap as the poorly-made flavors that I previously purchased, so there's little risk in trying them out.
Have you used these syrups? Which drink flavorings do you use when you mix drinks at home?
